To ALL ,'WHOM 1T MAY eoNcERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN LANE, of' Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented e.,

new and useful Improved Process ofWelding'Plowshares and Ido hereby declare and make known that the following isa full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had toA the accompanying draiwin'gs,

which form part of ,thisspecieatiom My invention consists in welding'the lay or shareto the landsirle of a plow byelamping them', when ut a welding-heat, between the jaws'of apropelrly-construeted vise, that shall press the parts together, effecting-a. secure weld, while, at the same. time andheat, the smith may batter vdown the end of the lay und smooth it oi to the face of the land-side. i v p Figure 1 gives a. view of the plow, lay, and land-side, a being the 1ay,'b the land-side, and from cvto the line of weld. C is a cross-'bar or brace, bolted to the lay and land-side to keep them/in positionwhile the heat and weld are being made. The ley rests on the top of the land-side at line of weld, as shown.

Figures 2 and 3 give perspective views of a vise-clamp as I prefer to make it.

It will be noticed that the arrangement of the'jaws, g, I, and K,a matrix'fmould, the form of the lay and land-side, et and near the line-of weld, is shown. I sometimes combine the jaws I and K in one jaw, still preserving shape and form as before. v 1

In operation, the lay and land-side, having been made -and bent to shape, is bolted to the brace C, and the line of Weld, brought to a welding-heat, is noiv placed in the clamp, -the lay vbetween the jaws g and I, the landside resting on the top o f the jaw I and against the jaw K. '.lhe v ise is now tightened, effecting a secure weld of the lay to the land-side. The smith may now batter downlthe endof the lay and smooth up the face of the landsde, andthe work is complete.

I claim as my invention- An improvedmplement for facilitating the weldingftpgether the lay andj the '1andside of a plow, namely, v

a vise, the jaws of which are so shaped as tot the curved surface ofthe ly and the underedge and inner side .of the land-side, substantially as shown a'nd described.
